Several residents from the Scudder Avenue area of Hyannis Port asked the town council last week for a study on speeding on Scudder Avenue. Susan Gallagher of Scudder Avenue called the street a “speedway,” with vehicles driving up to 60 mph in the 30 mph zone. She said many children ride their bikes on the street in the summer to the nearby recreation area. She suggested stop signs or traffic-calming speed bumps, but said she was open to any suggestions. Eddie Gallagher said the residents have discussed the problem at the civic association.

Town Manager Tom Lynch said he will set up a meeting with the Department of Public Works and police department.
